Аннотация: Abstract. This article raises the problem of the functionality and a rational explanation of large bodies of surplus communicative scientific knowledge. To solve the problem and explain this phenomenon, it draws on the resources of the system-communicative theory of scientific communication and social-evolutionist approaches. The ability of the system-communicative theory itself to explain this phenomenon is seen as a possibility of its verification. The article proposes a working hypothesis that links the existence of a class of surplus research and researchers with the function of meta-observation: Through their online-network reactions on relevant electronic platforms (downloads, citations, readings, reviews, recommendations, etc.), the distribution of the scientific reputations of science leaders and the selection of the best scientific knowledge are ensured. This function, according to the author, compensates for the lack, in the system of scientific communication, of an external audience or a public capable of understanding and adequately evaluating scientific achievements. The conclusion of the article is that the past “collegial and deliberative” assessment of scientific achievements, with the corresponding distribution of reputations and support for research projects, is incompatible with the dynamic conditions of the “publication market.” Keywords: system-communicative theory, social evolution, science and society, social network society and science.
